Students often face process losses when learning together via text-based online environments. Computer-supported collaboration scripts can scaffold collaborative learning processes by distributing roles and activities and thus facilitate acquisition of domain-specific as well as domain-general knowledge, such as knowledge on argumentation. Possibly, individual learners would require less additi...

This paper presents the tool developed and used during the first year of the European IST project SCALE (InternetBased intelligent tool for Supporting Collaborative Argumentation and Learning). This tool allows argumentative interactions across internet that can be used in pedagogical situations. In adjunction to regular collaborative tools (chat, white board and text editor), a specific collab...

Reading comprehension is the ability to understand text, decode and infer its meaning according reader’s level of comprehension. Similarly, reading deduce, critique construct attributes hence are intertwined embedded into skill analyse text in general synthesize interpreting your own understanding particular text. Despite this prerequisite skill; there challenges which impede as results paper i...

Collaborative tagging is the process whereby people attach keywords, known as tags, to digital resources, such as text and images, in order to render them retrievable in the future. This thesis investigates how tags submitted by users in collaborative tagging systems function as descriptors of a resource’s perceived content. Using computational and theoretical tools, I compare collaborative tag...

Research in L1 writing has found numerous benefits of employing collaborative learning in the classroom. The research findings on group work provide clear evidence that engaging learners in group activities increases opportunities for students to engage in the negotiation of meaning, which further leads to better acquisition. The present study, implementing two different collaborative feedback ...

The ability to read a document depends on the reader’s skills and text’s readability level. In this paper, we propose system that uses deep learning techniques simplify texts in order match We use novel approach with reinforcement loop contains classifier. classifier’s output is used decide if more simplification needed, until desired level reached. models are trained data annotated levels from...

We use the script concept to describe knowledge structures that help individuals understand and act in specific contexts as well as scaffolds structuring collaborative learning. External scripts can be presented in different ways, e.g. as written text. For internal scripts, it is not clear whether they have identical effects on collaborative argumentation processes in oral vs. written discussio...

This paper presents our method to support the collaborative conceptualisation process focusing our strategy for building consensus in the context of collaborative networks. This new strategy comes from the application of the results and recommendations obtained in an experimental evaluation performed in the scope of a large European project in the area of industrial engineering. The usage of ou...
